The Treasure Pot Game Video
The challenge of explaining the concept of insurance exists in all environments. It can be even more of a challenge when trying to reach resource-poor people in developing countries, who may have never been exposed to insurance. To tackle this challenge, the Micro Insurance Academy (MIA) developed a tool called the Treasure Pot Game that transforms this complex task of insurance education into a simple and effective game. This tool educates members on the need for insurance in their community (with particular focus on healthcare). Playing the treasure pot is fun and easy, while at the same time enabling the members to understand the notion of insurance and how pooling risks may offer better outcomes then out of pocket spending. MIA in partnership with the Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme developed the following educational video to raise awareness of the game.
